About
I’m a commercially minded, people-first HR leader with over a decade of experience supporting SMEs through growth, transformation, and change. My route into HR has been non-traditional, but it’s shaped me into a hands-on, pragmatic leader who thrives in fast-paced environments where creativity, agility, and problem-solving are essential.
